Playa del Cura, Sand beach in Mogán, Spain

The 300-meter beach features fine-grained black lava sand on its eastern section and coarser sand with stones on its western part.

The beach area evolved from a traditional fishing zone into a tourist destination during Gran Canaria's coastal development in the late 20th century.

Local fishermen maintain their traditional practices along the coast, selling fresh catches to the restaurants that line the nearby commercial center.

The eastern section offers sunbed rentals, showers, and lifeguard services, while the western part provides more space for visitors seeking seclusion.

During low tide, visitors can walk along the shoreline to reach neighboring Playa de Tauro, which features imported golden sand from the Sahara Desert.
